Where to find Star Wars weapons in Fortnite
There are currently four Star Wars weapons in Fortnite:
The E-11 Blaster Rifle Luke Skywalker’s green Lightsaber (from Return of the Jedi) Luke Skywalker’s blue Lightsaber (from Return of the Jedi) Darth Vader’s Lightsaber
Luke’s Lightsabers and the E-11 Blaster Rifle can both be found in Imperial Star Wars chests. You can also find them as floor loot, or in regular chests, but they are less likely to spawn this way due to the increased loot pool. As they’re classified as Mythic weapons, be on the lookout for items with a yellow glow. Here’s where you can find Imperial Star Wars chests:
Southeast of Grim Gables, on the road West of Tilted Towers, on the road East of Greasy Grove, on the road Southeast of Greasy Grove, near the chrome
You can also purchase an E-11 Blaster Rifle for 100 Gold Bars from a Stormtrooper at the following locations:
Southeast of Grim Gables, on the road West of Tilted Towers, on the road East of Greasy Grove, on the road
Use a Lightsaber or the E-11 Blaster Rifle to damage Stormtroopers and other players to get the 2,000 damage with Star Wars weapons needed to clear this challenge for 20K XP. To get Darth Vader’s Lightsaber, however, you’ll have to find him first. Fortnite Chapter 4 Chapter 1 is here, complete with a new augments system, the coming arrival of Geralt and the Ageless Champion to beat!

Fortnite Darth Vader location
Unlike the last time he made an appearance, Darth Vader is in the same location every match now. You can find Darth Vader in the area southeast of Greasy Grove, near the chrome. His ship will fly alongside the Battle Bus at the start of a match, then take off to the Greasy Grove woods, with a light shining above his location when he lands. Be warned that Darth Vader is a tough opponent, as he can throw his Lightsaber and use the force to throw other objects at you, or bring you to him. He can also jump to your position, has a dual health bar, and can deflect your gunfire with his Lightsaber. However, there’s no Stormtroopers guarding him now, and as you only need to assist in defeating Darth Vader to clear a quest, hitting him with just one bullet or melee strike counts towards completing this challenge. As long as somebody else defeats Darth Vader before you’re eliminated, that is. We recommend landing at Darth Vader’s location, quickly looting the Imperial Star Wars chests for an E-11 Blaster Rifle, hitting Vader a few times, then running away as fast as you can! Someone else is likely to come along and defeat Darth Vader, clearing the challenge for you. If you want Darth Vader’s Lightsaber, however, you’ll have to stick around and pick it up as loot when he’s been eliminated by you or another player.
